    My package went out this morning. It has to go clear across the US.

    Have a wonderful evening.

    Hello everyone. Just thought I would pop in and say hello. Still see some names I remember. Glad to see the group is still here.

    I received a package from Goatmom yesterday! How much fun! Lovely fabrics, an unstitcher tool, 2 patterns, flosses, a unique measuring tape, a dish scrubber, and a pretty card!


    Many thanks!

    Hi Verna. Nice to see you on the board again.

    Deborah that pattern looks beautiful, and the fat quarters might be a nice start.

    It is great to see the packages coming in. I hope my recipient likes her package and is able to use most of the items. It has been quiet. Hopefully she is doing well.

    I'm glad you like everything Deborah! I had fun checking out a new to me quilt store in Longmont CO for a few of the items.

    Goatmom,

    I often think about your goats and how cute they must be!

    HI Gaijin,
    Yes, my girls are cute. It's been a slow breeding season for some reason. I was hoping for January babies but looks like it will be late January and mid February before my older girls kid. I'm not sure if the yearling will have babies this year. She came down with mastitis and lost half of her udder. If she has kids, I'll bottle raise them.

    What a fun surprise! I knew immediately that Gaijin was my secret pal because of all the beautiful stamps. All the gifts were wrapped in blue tissue paper, adding to the suspense. My two doggies got right in there and started helping me by ripping the tissue paper apart that had fallen to the ground. They also enjoyed their gift from Gaijin, doggy Nyla bones made for little dogs. As always, the gifts were amazing, a large piece of fabric with otters, lots of neutral fabric to use with it or other projects, the sweetest note and card, yummy Japanese chocolate, green tea, 2 quilt books, Bohin pins, thread and a log cabin trim tool for small log cabins. I am excited to use and try it all. I am very excited about the log cabin tool and will need to make a small project to try it out. Thank you, Debrah. It is very kind of you to put such a nice package together.

    Default September Secret Pal

    I received my package from Caroline yesterday. She sent me some beautiful fall fabric, thread, magic pins, 1/4" ruler, 2.5" square ruler, clips, thread wraps and a very nice note.

    I'm doing a mystery BOM and it has a lot of 2/5" squares so I'm excited to use the little ruler.

    I'll attach a picture.

    Thanks again Caroline.

    Thank you, Gaijin! I love everything you send. I already put the chocolate and green tea in my suitcase for a trip I am taking. All the beautiful stamps get sent to Europe to a stamp collector friend from hubby.
